For Barton’s 50th birthday, his wife convinced (说服) the management at Elephant’s World to permit them to bring a piano into the place. However, Barton’s personal project to play music to these elephants was not one he entered without a few doubts. As Barton recalls, the night before moving his instrument into the wilderness of the Elephant’s World, he wondered how the elephants would react to the music: “I thought about what it would be like to play for the elephants. Would they listen, or would it be dangerous?” Moving a piano into nature is not easy. As Barton says, “Moving our piano from Bangkok to the wilderness of the mountains in Kanchanaburi was challenging, but we made it.” Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives, and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled. This pianist has carefully observed the reactions of the elephants to the type of music played. “Their breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy,” he says. “An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which it loves!” This musician adds, “I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.” 4. Who worked at Elephant’s World according to Paragraph 1? A. Some volunteers. B. The couple. C. Barton. D. Barton’s wife. 5. What does the underlined word “permit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Order. B. Allow. C. Seek. D. Replace. 6. Why does Barton mention the aged elephant Ampan? A. To show elephants have their own loved music. B. To compare two great musicians from Europe. C. To discuss the hardship the elephant had faced. D. To explain why he prefers to play classical music. 7. What does Barton want to say in the last paragraph? A He manages to get over the difficulties he met. B. Playing the piano in the wild makes little sense. C. The work gives him a sense of achievement. D. Staying with wild elephants is quite stressful. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了巴顿为大象演奏音乐，他确信，对于那些为人类工作了一辈子，却不幸失明或残疾的大象来说，音乐这一通用语言是一种完美的治疗方法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Barton’s wife started working at Elephant’s World, which works to rescue badly treated elephants just outside Kanchanaburi in Thailand, Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals.(当巴顿的妻子开始在泰国北碧府外的大象世界工作时，巴顿想知道如果他给这些动物播放一些缓慢的古典音乐会发生什么)”可知，巴顿的妻子在大象世界工作。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“his wife convinced (说服) the management at Elephant’s World(他的妻子说服了大象世界的管理人员)”以及后文“to bring a piano into the place(把一架钢琴带进来)”并结合下文巴顿给大象演奏钢琴可知，妻子说服管理人员允许他们把一架钢琴带进来。故划线词意思是“允许”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which it loves!”(80岁高龄的大象“安潘”几乎完全失明，却喜欢贝多芬缓慢的“月光奏鸣曲”乐章。如果我弹舒伯特，而不是它喜欢的贝多芬，它就会走开！”)”可知，巴顿提到年迈的大象安潘是为了展示大象有自己喜欢的音乐。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This musician adds, “I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.”(这位音乐家补充说：“我很高兴和大象一起生活，也很喜欢了解它们。我觉得为他们演奏钢琴音乐是值得的，特别是如果它能给那些有压力的生活或生活在黑暗中的人带来安慰。”)”可知，巴顿在最后一段想表达的是这项工作给他一种成就感。故选C。 C September 22, 2024 marks the start of a new season. But what exactly you should call that season depends on where in the world you are. In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name: autumn. But if you go to America, you’ll find that people use both “fall” and “autumn” when speaking about this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names. So what is it about the season that makes it so special? According to Dictionary. com, “fall” isn’t a modern nickname that followed the more traditional “autumn”. The two terms (术语) are actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other. Before either word appeared in the dictionary, the season between summer and winter was known as “harvest”. The word is of Germanic stock (日耳曼语系) and meant “picking” or “plucking”, a nod to the act of gathering and keeping crops before winter. In the 1500s, English speakers began calling the seasons separating the cold and warm months “fall of the leaf” or “spring of the leaf”, or “fall” and “spring” for short. Both terms were simple, but for some reason, only “spring” stayed in Britain. By the end of the 1600s, “autumn”, from the French word “autompne” and the Latin “autumnus”, had overtaken “fall” as the standard British term for the third season. Around the same time when England adopted “autumn”, the first-ever British American colonists were travelling to North America. With them, they brought the words “fall” and “autumn”. Although the word “fall” fell out of fashion in England, it became a part of the local language by the time when America won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still a uniquely American behavior. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. “Fall” is unacceptable in America. B. “Fall” is more commonly used in Britain. C. Two words are used for the third season in America. D. A season always comes on the same day every year. 9. What was the season between summer and winter called before “fall” and “autumn” appeared? A. Gathering. B. Picking. C. Spring. D. Harvest. 10. What does the author say about “spring” in Paragraph 4? A. It was much easier. B. It has stayed in Britain since the 1500s. C. It was first used in the 1600s. D. It was a French word. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show how the season between summer and winter gets its English name. B. To introduce the differences among languages in the world. C. To introduce different seasons in America. D. To share ways to learn English. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了秋天在英语中两种不同的叫法及其历史渊源。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But if you go to America, you’ll find that people use both “fall” and “autumn” when speaking about this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names.(但如果你去美国，你会发现人们在谈论一年中的这个时候会同时使用“fall”和“autumn”，这使得它成为英语中唯一一个拥有两个被广泛接受的名字的季节)”可知，在美国，第三季“秋天”有两个单词。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Before either word appeared in the dictionary, the season between summer and winter was known as “harvest”.(在这两个词出现在词典上之前，夏天和冬天之间的季节被称为“harvest”)”可知，在fall和autumn出现之前，在夏天和冬天之间的季节在古英语中被叫做harvest。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the 1500s, English speakers began calling the seasons separating the cold and warm months “fall of the leaf” or “spring of the leaf”, or “fall” and “spring” for short. Both terms were simple, but for some reason, only “spring” stayed in Britain.(在16世纪，说英语的人开始把区分冷暖月份的季节称为“fall of the leaf”或“spring of the leaf”，或者简称为“fall”和“spring”。这两个词都很简单，但由于某种原因，只有“spring”留在了英国)”可知，自16世纪以来，spring一直留在英国。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“September 22, 2024 marks the start of a new season. But what exactly you should call that season depends on where in the world you are. In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name: autumn. But if you go to America, you’ll find that people use both “fall” and “autumn” when speaking about this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names. So what is it about the season that makes it so special?( 2024年9月22日标志着新赛季的开始。但是你该怎么称呼这个季节取决于你在世界上的哪个地方。在英国，一年中的第三个季节通常只有一个名字：autumn。但如果你去美国，你会发现人们在谈论一年中的这个时候会同时使用“fall”和“autumn”，这使得它成为英语中唯一一个拥有两个被广泛接受的名字的季节。那么是什么让这个季节如此特别呢？)”以及文章介绍了秋天在英语中两种不同的叫法及其历史渊源。可知，文章的目的是为了说明夏季和冬季之间的季节是如何得到它的英文名字的。故选A。 D Ma Myung-sun didn’t expect much from the bananas he planted on a farm in Seoul. He must use a greenhouse for part of the year to protect the bananas from South Korea’s cold winters. But warmer temperatures because of climate change have produced a welcome surprise in the form of flowers and fruit. The land area where tropical crops (热带作物) are grown in South Korea has increased from about 295 hectares in 2021 to 3,306 hectares in 2023. There are 67 banana farms in the south. And Ma is among a growing number of farmers experimenting with crops usually grown in a warmer climate. “I want to try growing other tropical crops too. So, as you can see here, I have planted these papaya trees as well,” Ma said, pointing to a small papaya plant. Ma opened up part of his family’s farm to people from the city in 2006. He is happy about his small success but he worries about what it means for the climate. “I feel that the climate problem has become very serious,” said Ma, who has been a farmer for 25 years. South Korea lies in the temperate zone and has four seasons. But its climate appears to be getting warmer and wetter throughout the year. The average (平均的) yearly temperature has been continually rising. The average temperature of 13.7 degrees Celsius last year was the highest since its records began in 1973. Rainfall during last year’s rainy season was 660.2mm nationwide, nearly two times the 356.7mm annual average figure. South Korea’s climate conditions are becoming more like those of tropical areas, so farming experts say it is important for farmers to find the right crop types for the climate. Tropical fruits are usually expensive in South Korea, so shoppers should welcome the less costly local produce. “My kids love bananas. So, it is good if we can buy bananas grown in our own country,” said Kim Ji-youn, who was buying imported (进口的) bananas in a Seoul supermarket. 12. What’s the influence of climate change on Ma’s farm? A. It has made it possible to grow some tropical crops. B. The area where crops can be planted has become smaller. C. It has required him to water the crops more often. D. The farm’s production of traditional crops has dropped. 13. What are South Korean farmers advised to do? A. Improve traditional crops. B. Choose proper crops to grow. C. Pay attention to water quality. D. Plant crops in the rainy seasons. 14. What is Kim Ji-youn’s attitude to bananas grown in South Korea? A. Unknown. B. Negative. C. Worried. D. Supportive. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lasting Weather Changes Cause Farmers’ Worry B. People in South Korea Can’t Get Tropical Fruit C. South Korean Farmers Try Growing Bananas in Warmer Weather D. Rising Temperatures Harm Traditional Farm Crops Unexpectedly 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于气候变化，韩国种植热带作物的土地面积增加，可以种植一些热带作物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But warmer temperatures because of climate change have produced a welcome surprise in the form of flowers and fruit.(但由于气候变化导致的气温升高却带来了一个令人欣喜的惊喜——花朵和果实)”以及第二段“The land area where tropical crops (热带作物) are grown in South Korea has increased from about 295 hectares in 2021 to 3,306 hectares in 2023.(韩国种植热带作物的土地面积已从2021年的295公顷增加到2023年的3306公顷)”可知，气候变化种植热带作物的土地面积增加，使种植一些热带作物成为可能。故选A。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“South Korea’s climate conditions are becoming more like those of tropical areas, so farming experts say it is important for farmers to find the right crop types for the climate.(韩国的气候条件正变得越来越像热带地区，因此农业专家表示，对农民来说，找到适合当地气候的作物类型非常重要)”可知，韩国农民被建议选择合适的作物种植。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““My kids love bananas. So, it is good if we can buy bananas grown in our own country,” said Kim Ji-youn, who was buying imported (进口的) bananas in a Seoul supermarket.(“我的孩子们喜欢香蕉。所以，如果我们能买到自己国家种植的香蕉，那就太好了。”正在首尔一家超市购买进口香蕉的Kim Ji-youn说)”可推知，Kim Ji-youn对韩国种植的香蕉持支持态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The land area where tropical crops (热带作物) are grown in South Korea has increased from about 295 hectares in 2021 to 3,306 hectares in 2023. There are 67 banana farms in the south. And Ma is among a growing number of farmers experimenting with crops usually grown in a warmer climate.(韩国的热带作物种植面积从2021年的295公顷增加到2023年的3306公顷。南部有67个香蕉农场。越来越多的农民尝试种植通常在温暖气候下生长的作物，马就是其中之一)”结合文章内容可知，本文主要说明了由于气候变化，韩国种植热带作物的土地面积增加，可以种植一些热带作物，C选项“韩国农民尝试在温暖的天气里种植香蕉”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Communication is important in all families.

B When Barton’s wife started working at Elephant’s World, which works to rescue badly treated elephants just outside Kanchanaburi in Thailand, Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals. For Barton’s 50th birthday, his wife convinced (说服) the management at Elephant’s World to permit them to bring a piano into the place. However, Barton’s personal project to play music to these elephants was not one he entered without a few doubts. As Barton recalls, the night before moving his instrument into the wilderness of the Elephant’s World, he wondered how the elephants would react to the music: “I thought about what it would be like to play for the elephants. Would they listen, or would it be dangerous?” Moving a piano into nature is not easy. As Barton says, “Moving our piano from Bangkok to the wilderness of the mountains in Kanchanaburi was challenging, but we made it.” Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives, and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled. This pianist has carefully observed the reactions of the elephants to the type of music played. “Their breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy,” he says. “An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow ‘Moonlight Sonata’ movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which it loves!” This musician adds, “I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.” 4. Who worked at Elephant’s World according to Paragraph 1? A. Some volunteers. B. The couple. C. Barton. D. Barton’s wife. 5. What does the underlined word “permit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Order. B. Allow. C. Seek. D. Replace. 6. Why does Barton mention the aged elephant Ampan? A. To show elephants have their own loved music. B. To compare two great musicians from Europe. C. To discuss the hardship the elephant had faced. D. To explain why he prefers to play classical music. 7. What does Barton want to say in the last paragraph? A. He manages to get over the difficulties he met. B. Playing the piano in the wild makes little sense. C. The work gives him a sense of achievement. D. Staying with wild elephants is quite stressful. C September 22, 2024 marks the start of a new season. But what exactly you should call that season depends on where in the world you are. In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name: autumn. But if you go to America, you’ll find that people use both “fall” and “autumn” when speaking about this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names. So what is it about the season that makes it so special? According to Dictionary. com, “fall” isn’t a modern nickname that followed the more traditional “autumn”. The two terms (术语) are actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other. Before either word appeared in the dictionary, the season between summer and winter was known as “harvest”. The word is of Germanic stock (日耳曼语系) and meant “picking” or “plucking”, a nod to the act of gathering and keeping crops before winter. In the 1500s, English speakers began calling the seasons separating the cold and warm months “fall of the leaf” or “spring of the leaf”, or “fall” and “spring” for short. Both terms were simple, but for some reason, only “spring” stayed in Britain. By the end of the 1600s, “autumn”, from the French word “autompne” and the Latin “autumnus”, had overtaken “fall” as the standard British term for the third season. Around the same time when England adopted “autumn”, the first-ever British American colonists were travelling to North America. With them, they brought the words “fall” and “autumn”. Although the word “fall” fell out of fashion in England, it became a part of the local language by the time when America won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still a uniquely American behavior. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. “Fall” is unacceptable in America. B. “Fall” is more commonly used in Britain. C. Two words are used for the third season in America. D. A season always comes on the same day every year. 9. What was the season between summer and winter called before “fall” and “autumn” appeared? A. Gathering. B. Picking. C. Spring. D. Harvest. 10. What does the author say about “spring” in Paragraph 4? A. It was much easier. B. It has stayed in Britain since the 1500s. C. It was first used in the 1600s. D. It was a French word. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show how the season between summer and winter gets its English name. B To introduce the differences among languages in the world. C. To introduce different seasons in America. D. To share ways to learn English. D Ma Myung-sun didn’t expect much from the bananas he planted on a farm in Seoul. He must use a greenhouse for part of the year to protect the bananas from South Korea’s cold winters. But warmer temperatures because of climate change have produced a welcome surprise in the form of flowers and fruit. The land area where tropical crops (热带作物) are grown in South Korea has increased from about 295 hectares in 2021 to 3,306 hectares in 2023. There are 67 banana farms in the south. And Ma is among a growing number of farmers experimenting with crops usually grown in a warmer climate. “I want to try growing other tropical crops, too. So, as you can see here, I have planted these papaya trees as well,” Ma said, pointing to a small papaya plant. Ma opened up part of his family’s farm to people from the city in 2006. He is happy about his small success but he worries about what it means for the climate. “I feel that the climate problem has become very serious,” said Ma, who has been a farmer for 25 years. South Korea lies in the temperate zone and has four seasons. But its climate appears to be getting warmer and wetter throughout the year. The average (平均的) yearly temperature has been continually rising. The average temperature of 13.7 degrees Celsius last year was the highest since its records began in 1973. Rainfall during last year’s rainy season was 660.2mm nationwide, nearly two times the 356.7mm annual average figure. South Korea’s climate conditions are becoming more like those of tropical areas, so farming experts say it is important for farmers to find the right crop types for the climate. Tropical fruits are usually expensive in South Korea, so shoppers should welcome the less costly local produce. “My kids love bananas. So, it is good if we can buy bananas grown in our own country,” said Kim Ji-youn, who was buying imported (进口的) bananas in a Seoul supermarket. 12. What’s the influence of climate change on Ma’s farm? A. It has made it possible to grow some tropical crops. B. The area where crops can be planted has become smaller. C. It has required him to water the crops more often. D The farm’s production of traditional crops has dropped. 13. What are South Korean farmers advised to do? A. Improve traditional crops. B. Choose proper crops to grow. C. Pay attention to water quality. D. Plant crops in the rainy seasons. 14. What is Kim Ji-youn’s attitude to bananas grown in South Korea? A. Unknown. B. Negative. C. Worried. D. Supportive. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lasting Weather Changes Cause Farmers’ Worry B. People in South Korea Can’t Get Tropical Fruit C. South Korean Farmers Try Growing Bananas in Warmer Weather D. Rising Temperatures Harm Traditional Farm Crops Unexpectedly 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Communication is important in all families.
